So I've been tinkering with the blacksmith's shop and I think it's just about right. Leo the blacksmith wasn't happy that the chickens kept wandering into the work area, so he decided it was time for chicken soup.

You are so great at capturing action, Dennis. This is the kind of scene I can see taking place behind the main characters talking in front, while the smithy is chasing the chook in the background. The water falling onto the wheel is nicely done, I can almost hear it.
